Following Elder Dong into the inner hall, the decorations inside were simple and unadorned, all of the necessities had a noble and reserved air, and a middle-aged man who looked like a butler welcomed the two of them with standard etiquette: "Hello, Mister Dong. Your personal helper has already prepared and is waiting for you."

"Alright." Elder Dong nodded as he spoke with an indifferent expression.

Under the guidance of the butler, the two of them walked through the front and into a small independent courtyard behind them. With the guidance of the butler, the two of them walked through the front and arrived at a small independent courtyard behind them.

Seeing the old man, Elder Dong revealed a familiar smile as he said, "Master Xu, long time no see. Are you alright?"

"Mr Dong is worried that everything will go smoothly for me." The old man Master Xu said.

"That's good. Oh right, the one who needs to be measured today is not me but this little friend Lin. This is his first time here, help him make something nice." Elder Dong said with a smile.

Master Xu's gaze landed on Lin Jing. "Greetings, Mister Lin."

The customization of the clothing was a bit faster than he had expected. Master Xu's craftsmanship was exquisite. In less than five minutes, he had completed all the measurements.

However, the entire process wasn't too familiar to Lin Jing, especially when those female attendants helped him take off his jacket. It was as if he were a person who couldn't take care of himself in his own life.

"Mr. Dong, will you be participating in today's special dinner?" Just as he finished, the housekeeper who had been waiting at the door walked in again.

Old Dong first looked at Lin Jing and asked: "Xiao Lin, what are you doing tonight? If not, we can participate together. "

Lin Jing had originally planned to return after making some clothes, but seeing Old Man Dong's sincere invitation, he didn't feel it appropriate to postpone it. Thus, he nodded and agreed.

Seeing that Lin Jing had agreed, Old Dong smiled and said to the butler, "Since that's the case, make the arrangements. Lin Jing and I will participate … …"

Elder Dong paused for a moment as he thought of something. Then, he turned around and asked him in detail, "So, shall I use your real name for the banquet list?"

Stunned, Lin Jing didn't know how to react. "Uh, but … I can …"

Old Dong glanced at Lin Jing, but didn't say anything. He turned to the butler and said: "Then let's do it this way. Also, I won't go onstage."

"Sure, Mr. Dong. You guys rest first. I'll come back later to invite you." The butler said this with a perfect smile as he left.

Master Xu opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Dong, I would like to ask if there are any other requirements for the custom-made clothes for Mr. Lin?"

"In my name, it should be possible within this week, right? "In addition, when designing, pay attention to external modifications, ordinary materials should be able to do it. Oh right, last time, said that there was a special grade fabric, can you do it?" Elder Dong spoke as usual.

"Sure, does Mr. Dong need a set? Because the materials are special, it will take longer. " Master Xu explained.

"It doesn't matter. You can make the same one using Mr. Lin's size. It can be a little later. I'm too old to need that." Old man Dong smiled as he glanced at Lin Jing.

"Ok, then after I'm done, I'll send it to your residence?" Master Xu once again asked Elder Dong for his opinion.

"Right." Elder Dong nodded as he spoke.

After Master Xu and the others left, Lin Jing had the opportunity to ask with a puzzled expression, "Elder Dong, what was the special material you just mentioned?"

"Haha, it's just a small thing. You'll know when the time comes. Come, the first time you're here, I'll introduce you to the Cloud Embroidery Workshop." Old man Dong chuckled and patted Lin Jing's shoulder before bringing him inside the house.

There was a teahouse in the middle of the room. Lin Jing only glanced at the teacup in the middle of the room and was secretly speechless. The tea was made from a top-grade Nan Mu, which was at least three meters long.

Just the price of this piece of raw wood was over several million and the carving patterns on it was also a masterpiece by a master. The value of this item was probably over ten million. The Cloud Embroidery Workshop was indeed powerful.

A young and elegant female tea master, dressed in simple and unadorned clothes, sat behind the sea of tea. She was making tea when Old Dong led Lin Jing to sit down and said with a smile, "Xiao Lin, why don't you try out this tea first. It's something I've spent a lot of effort on."

"Elder Dong is being too courteous." She had a faint smile on her face, and the more she looked at her, the more she made people like her. It was as if a lotus flower had bloomed in the water, completely different from the bewitching women outside.

His face suddenly turned red.

While drinking tea, Elder Dong said, "This Cloud Embroidery Workshop was built in the late Qing Dynasty. It has a history of hundreds of years, the first owner was a wealthy patriotic businessman in the capital, and later he joined up with some capable people. We were all of one goal, we all came together to seek a way to strengthen the country."

"Later on, when the war broke out, the Cloud Embroidery Workshop intervened in the middle to raise the cost of saving the nation's military. They put in great effort to continue the tradition to this day. The tradition was preserved very well."

The Cloud Embroidery Workshop is a membership system. Before this, I have told you that if you want to join, you must have the recommendation of an old member as a guarantee. For example, if I recommend you, then I will be your guarantor.

"In the past ten years, although the owner of the Cloud Embroidery Workshop still inherited the ancient traditions, the current people are impetuous, and the priority is the benefits. The quality of the members within it has been declining year by year, so it's about time for them to be adjusted."

The origin of the Cloud Embroidery Workshop was actually so deep and profound. However, based on Elder Dong's meaning, it seemed that he was unintentionally satisfied with some of the members present. However, he was only listening to them and not arrogant enough to think that he had the qualifications to partake in one or two sentences.

Elder Dong sipped a mouthful of tea before continuing, "As a member of the Cloud Embroidery Workshop, other than being able to own one's own courtyard under the Cloud Embroidery Workshop, there is also a monthly quota. This quota includes a lot of things, and the clothes you customized just now are considered one of them."

In addition, there are also resources, including financial and material resources. In short, as long as the quota is sufficient, as far as I know, there isn't anything that can be bought in the Cloud Embroidery Workshop. In addition, there are also resources, including financial and material resources, in short, as long as the quota is sufficient, as far as I know, there isn't anything that can be bought in the Cloud Embroidery Workshop.

As for the other things, when you officially join in the future, you will naturally be able to slowly come into contact with them.

"The environment here is absolutely private. All the staff members do one-on-one service, so other than you, no one else knows who the person in front of you is. If you have any important meetings or discussions, you can come here."

"The small courtyard that belongs to you is absolutely private. Other than you and your corresponding service personnel, outsiders are not allowed to enter. The security measures here are definitely top quality in the world. You can rest assured that if there is anything you need to store, you can bring it here."

"In general, this place belongs to you, a private, absolutely secret and safe place. If you want to be alone, this place is also a very good place. If you are willing, you can also share resources with others, as long as they agree, you can use their things."

For example, I have enough good tea leaves. You can slowly understand these things in the future, so you don't have to worry about it right now, after you officially enter the association, you will have a short period of time to explore. Within a month, the people from the Cloud Embroidery Workshop will make a final analysis based on your information.

After hearing Old Dong's introduction, Lin Jing had a rough understanding of the Cloud Embroidery Workshop, and it was about time. After he finished drinking the tea, the housekeeper's voice sounded from outside, "Mister Dong, the banquet is ready. Please take a walk into the banquet hall with Mister Lin."

"Sure, Lil 'Lin, let's go. I'm here to introduce you to some old friends." As Old Man Dong spoke, he led Lin Jing out of the house and out of the courtyard along with the butler. They walked towards the main entrance that they had come in from.

The banquet hall was located at the back of the main entrance. From afar, Lin Jing could hear the melodious sounds of music coming from there. In addition to the tranquil environment of the Cloud Embroidery Workshop, the music was refreshing and indescribably comfortable.

As he was walking, Elder Dong seemed to recall something and stopped. "Wait, I almost forgot. Today's banquet is a public banquet, right?"

The butler in front turned around and said with a smile, "Yes, today is the quarterly public banquet. According to previous rules, we also invited more suitable people from our region to attend. If Elder Dong finds it inconvenient, I can make the arrangements now."

Old Dong turned his head towards Lin Jing and said, "Little Lin, in a moment, besides the members of the Cloud Embroidery Workshop, you may also meet some familiar faces. If you feel that it's not appropriate for them to appear now, then we will not go."

"Eh, Elder Dong, do you mean that Old Granny Jiang will come?" Lin Jing's heart stirred. If the old lady had been here and seen him, she would have definitely recognized him. That would have been troublesome.

"That's not true. As the president of the Antique Association, she could have participated in it anyway. I'm talking about others." Elder Dong said.

Lin Jing thought for a moment. In the end, he still felt that this was a rather rare opportunity. Moreover, he had already walked this far. It wasn't good to turn back now, so he nodded and said, "I understand. Old Dong, don't worry. I have no problems."
